Anatomical context of latanoprost

  • PURPOSE: To assess the early effect of latanoprost on outflow facility and aqueous humor dynamics in the mouse [21].
  • Analysis of expression of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases in human ciliary body after latanoprost [11].
  • METHODS: Untreated and latanoprost-treated human Tenon fibroblasts were examined for the presence of MMPs and TIMPs on the mRNA and protein levels [22].
  • Effects of topical latanoprost on optic nerve head circulation in rabbits, monkeys, and humans [23].
  • PURPOSE: The present study was undertaken to determine whether exposure of the sclera to prostaglandin (PG)F(2alpha) or to the PGF(2alpha) analogue latanoprost acid alters mRNA for matrix metalloproteinases [24].
 

Associations of latanoprost with other chemical compounds

 

Gene context of latanoprost

  • RESULTS: Real-time PCR results showed that 24 hours of exposure to 100 nM PGF(2alpha) significantly increased mRNA for MMP-1 and -9 (P < 0.06 Wilcoxon test) and that exposure to 100 nM latanoprost acid significantly increased mRNA for MMP-9 (P < 0.06 Wilcoxon test) [24].
  • The array results also showed that latanoprost induced dose-dependent increases in the expression of TIMP-1, -2, and -3 mRNA in the scleral cultures [24].
  • In NPE cells, latanoprost led to a concentration- and time-dependent increase of COX-2 mRNA levels [28].
  • The levels of MMP-3 and TIMP-2 increase after treatment with latanoprost [22].
  • Finally, transscleral absorption of FGF-2 was increased by up to 126% with scleral exposure to latanoprost [29].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of latanoprost

  • The drug reaches systemic concentrations that are below the level expected to stimulate FP-receptors outside the eye and it is rapidly eliminated with a half-life in plasma of 17 minutes, which explains why the clinical trials have not revealed any systemic side-effects with latanoprost [30].
  • To assess the reproducibility of the ultrasonic measurements, a control group of 20 patients (20 eyes) who did not receive latanoprost was also analyzed [3].
  • At 6, 12, or 24 hours after treatment, there was no difference in latanoprost- and PBS-treated eyes [17].
  • CONCLUSIONS: PGF(2alpha) and latanoprost acid induce coordinated alterations of MMP gene transcription in scleral organ cultures [24].
  • Latanoprost concentration in residual solution was analyzed in a masked fashion, by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) [2].
